Hi Matt,
I have retrieved the current CVS image and as you had previously suggested,
applied the files in the
2.4 tree to a linux-2.4.8 kernel. I hate to be a whiner, but it didn't
build... mostly in the dump_gzip.c
file - a few include files weren't as well as a missing "=" sign in the
initialization of the dump_compress_t structure.
I did get the code to compile eventually, but am now wondering whether you
can make my life easier by obsoleting some files.
2.4/driver/block/vmdump.c appears to be obsolete.
lkcdutils/scripts/sbin.vmdump ditto
lkcdutils/scripts/sysconfig.vmdump ditto
There seems to be some sort of disconnect in the new startup scripts as
well. In the previous version, the
dump parameters were squirted into the dump driver through the /proc
interface. Now, lkcd_config is failing
an IOCTL on the dump device.
Please set me on the true path to enlightenment, happiness and dumping.
Many thanks,
Richard
